No permanent home yet for 'Peggy'
An MHK says plans for the Nautical Museum in Castletown don't need to be grand, just a basic structure to house 'The Peggy'
A recent funding bid was made by Manx National Heritage to redevelop the site however it was unsuccessful.
Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston cited high costs to build a 'world class' facility which would have housed 'Peggy'.
It's been suggested a future bid can be submitted as there are hopes to find a suitable centre for the ancient boat, but Minister Johnston says other 'funding sources' would be needed.
MNH's proposals were expected to cost a total of £6.13 million, with a £4 million bid made to the Economic Strategy Fund last year, in addition to the £2 million already promised by other sources.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse says unrealistic targets are getting in the way:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
